Guns N’ Roses Played the John Varvatos Store Last Night

Aside from a few weeks in the 5th grade or something, before I’d been forever changed by the revolutionary sounds of, um, 10,000 Maniacs, I never really cared for Guns N’ Roses. Then a few years later, by which point I’d officially aligned myself with Nirvana, I viewed them as the racist, homophobic, misogynistic enemy of everything that was real and just. In retrospect, it’s perhaps a bit silly, but deep down, I still don’t really think so. This, of course, is not to say that I wouldn’t have liked to have been at the John Varvatos store last night, where Axl Rose led a bunch of people claiming to be Guns N’ Roses through a 17-song set that featured exclusively old material.

Alberta Cross was a million times better than Guns n’ Roses last night. John Varvatos party was awesome because of Alberta Cross. I’ve never seen them play and they may be my new favorite band-it’s real rock n roll!!

Did anyone catch the band that played the Varvatos after party immediately following GNR’s performance? Their name was Midnight Spin, hailing from Brooklyn, and they rocked so hard! Definitely a name to keep on the radar. All in all a great event, well done Varvatos.
